Summary:

Earthenware Manufacturer ~ John Marshall: Employing 179 Males and 147 Females

 

Earthenware Manufacturer ~ William McNay

 
 

Although the size of the workforce is recorded in John Marshall's census entry, the census appears to tell a different story and I have been unable to find similar figures.  Including John and William, and counting only those entries in the census that specifically mention the pottery industry in the occupation …
 
A total of 251 people were employed in the pottery, 143 men and 108 women.
